Stray Dog was Hal Crook's sixth album as a leader. It was recorded live at Club AS220 in Providence, Rhode Island, where Crook's band held a recurring Tuesday night gig for several years. Crook plays his signature "Trom-o-Tizer," which consists of a trombone with a small microphone directing its signal through a digital effects unit, allowing him to access various effects including chorus, delay, and a 5-voice digital harmonizer.
